How to skip first step of a job? Can we use COND on the first step?..

Answer / abhijit18in2002

Check this JCL you can use COND=ONLY

//X5PAKR5J JOB (X5P,AKR,5,00000),'TEST CONDITION',
// MSGLEVEL=(1,1),CLASS=Z,MSGCLASS=Z,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,COND=ONLY
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD *
//STEP2 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD *
//STEP3 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD *
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
/*

O/P
STEP1-STEP WAS NOT RUN BECAUSE OF COND = ONLY
STEP2-STEP WAS EXECUTED - COND CODE 0000
STEP3-STEP WAS EXECUTED - COND CODE 0000

Answer / amrita

We can use RESTART in the Job card. For example if in the
Job, proc has been called from Step name STEP01 and the we
want to skip first step from proc viz PROCSTEP01 i.e. we
want our Job to start from Proc step 2 viz PROCSTEP02, use
following syntax in the Jobcard -
RESTART=(STEP01.PROCSTEP02).
